there are lots of religions. sports is a religion. the people who hoard money is a religion. the're just trying to say judeo-christian ethic is what he once kept in the home. barack obama can prance around as "protestants" but his religion can really be found at the church he went in chicago. i do not think jesus would vote for anybody, but his teachings would lead him to vote for romney, not because he's better than anyone else, but because he follows the teachings of christ. and what i feel obama is doing. host: thank you for the call. guest: the degree to which people bring their religion to bear, i would just reiterate that many americans seem to make a distinction between too much intermingling of organized religion and organized politics. many people say would be inappropriate for clergy to endorse candidates from the pulpit. people are very uncomfortable with that kind of intermingling. at the same time, in a nation overwhelmingly comprised of believers, many people think it's appropriate for them to bring their religious values to bear in making public decisions. host
